Sinda's Big Day!

Wow! Sinda is 20 years old today! She has been waiting at the gate for you all to arrive!

It should be a beautiful day!

A few of our farm critters, Franklin & Felix, Ruby and their moms have stopped by to wish her a Happy Day.

Me too, says Wicket - Happy Birthday Sinda!

Look Sinda! - some cats & beans brought you presents!

And Mother Nature brought out these beautiful tulips just for her, I'm sure.

Sinda's Official Birthday Photo!

Sinda, aka, "Baby Girl", Miss Priss, Squeekit, or Sweety Pie, was born April 21, 1990. Her daddy was a "travelin' man cat" and her mamma cat was a beautiful Siamese, taken in by his wiles and charms. The lady bean from Sinda's first family worked with mama and knew that she and her kitty Jaxom were lonely, because Delores, the one who came before, had gone to the Rainbow Bridge. Mama took pictures of Sinda and brought them home to Jaxom and told him all about her. When Sinda could eat by herself, she came home to mama & Jaxom - it was a very happy day in their lives.

So very much has happened in our lives since then. Mama met The Shepherd and they decided to get married and move to a little farm in the country. One day Jaxom had a stroke and went to the Rainbow Bridge to be with Delores. A couple of months later, mama & The Shepherd brought home this bratty orange thing that they called Neelix. He was supposed to be company for Sinda, but they never got along. He lived with us on the farm for about 12 years an when he got sick and went to the Rainbow Bridge, The Shepherd and Mama were very sad. Sinda didn't seem to be too very broken up about it though and The Shepherd said that Mama couldn't get any more kitties until Sinda joins Jaxom on the Bridge - she's just too old and set in her ways to have another kitten around. (Sinda, that is, not Mama - although she's kind of old and set in her ways too...)

Thanks so much for stopping by with your Birthday Wishes for Sinda. We hope you'll stop by again sometime - it's kind of a crazy place around here - you never know what you'll find - animals, yarn, recipes for yummy things. pictures of pretty flowers, etc.

Ok Baby Girl - mama's got to go earn some green papers to keep you in the Gerber Chick-hen baby food that you like so well. Sit up on your perch and enjoy all your company today.
